I recently picked up an eagle medal that has a ROB-1a scroll
with a LARGE CLASP and a pendant that looks like a D&C. At first it was
believed that this was just a composite medal that someone put together. I have
since located 2 others.

Again the way to identify this medal is the
back of the scroll has a large clasp and is stamped STERLING and the back of the
pendant does not show detail feathers like all the other Robbins medals.

Terry Grove has
identified this medal as the newly discovered ROB 0.

I have 2 of these medals. The larger one is 37mm high and the smaller
one is only 15mm high. The back has the following in raised letters:
"BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - SEA SCOUTS - BE PREPARED - 1913".
These medals were found in the Massachusetts / Rhode Island area.

These patches were found on a merit badge sash from the 1930's.
Each patch is approx. 2" round. It may have come from Eastern
Massachusetts.

Rob Kutz has identified these patches as being from Camp Siwanoy, from
the old Siwanoy Council in New York.

David Wolin
identified the "Oak Leaf" Patch was a Program Area patch for Nature.
The significant of the "Tomahawk" patch is unknown.

I bought this patch years ago from a woman whose husband was a Scout in the
teens. The lot had a bunch of early BSA merit badges and pins. I told her at
first that this patch was not Boy Scout. Then I turned it over and saw the
official BSA stamp on the back.

Tiny 15mm tall silver pin with eagle in front of an arrowhead. On one side is
the letter "T" and the other side is the number "1".
There is a small vertical locking clasp on back.

Garry Ives identified this pin as from the Order of the O-hit-e-kah. It was
an Eagle Scout Association created by the Oakland Area Council and was one
of the first in the nation. The Order was founded in 1922 at Camp
Dimond in Oakland three years before the Knights of Dunamis (the San
Francisco Eagle Scout Association) was founded. O-hit-e-kah was an Native
American Sioux Indian word for a male that meant “Brave”.

The
Order of O-hit-e-kah tribe was made up of Eagle Scouts only. Members of the
Oh-hit-e-kah Tribe gave Eagle Scouts an opportunity to show their leadership
ability not only in the work of their respective troops, but also in the
service which they are rendering at Scout Camp. The Scout Scribe (the
newsletter of the OAC indicated) "Members of the tribe assist other
troops in leadership capacity acting as special examiners in many of the
Scout tests. They are an exemplification of the spirit of Scouting for they
believe and render to others as great a service as they possibly can."

The
Order had at least three known chapters (they were called both Teepees and
Tribes), Oakland Council (Teepee #1, founding Teepee), Stockton Council
(Teepee #2, founded 1928) and the Bronx Council (Teepee #3, founded 1929).
In 1929 the Order of O-hit-e-kah ceased to be a local organization
when the Bronx Valley Council in the state of New York under the leadership
of Scout Executive Ripley was founded.

According
to the Oakland Tribune articles, the Order of the O-hit-e-kah as a service
organization of Eagle Scouts lasted until at least October 1931. Other Eagle
Scout associations most notably the Knights of Dunamis, which was founded
across the bay by the San Francisco Council in April 1925, had a much
stronger following and larger organization.

After
the O-hit-e-kah Tribe dissolved or was disbanded, the Oakland Area Council
became associated with the Knights of Dunamis Eagle Scout Association on
June 14, 1936 when the Oakland Chapter was officially formed. The Oakland
Chapter of the Knights of Dunamis was known as Chapter 40 and lasted until
1964 when the Oakland and San Francisco Councils merged. Both the Order of
the O-hit-e-kah and the Knights of Dunamis were the predecessors to the
National Eagle Scout Association.
